FERRETS FOR NEW ZEALAND.
The Little Animals Needed on Account
of the Rabbit Pest-Another Order.

The Little Animals Needed on Account
of the Rabbit Pest-Another Order.
Mr.. Cross, the well known naturalist Of
Liverpool, who IS up in London looking after
the gorilla that he has just sold to the "Zoo,"
paid q call to Northumberland street the
other day to report on the animal kingdom,
Of which he is undisputed lord.
'The last new thing said Mr.. Gross, sis
the sailing of the ferrets; 120 of them have
just gone OFF, and with them $50 pigeons, 10
sacks Of biscuits and 375 tins of Nestle's
milk. bought the milk for them myself"
'But what are the pigeons for7'
THAT will explain to you. The ferrets
are for the rabbits and the pigeons are for
the ferrets. They will eat up tho $50 pigeons
on their voyage to New Zealand They will
also consume the biscuits and the milk Then
l have sent sacks upon sacks of hay to make
bedding for the ferrets, and plenty of Indian
corn to feed up the pigeons. 1t was quite a
sight; four big carts and two whole railway
trucks were taken up with tfiis consignment
Two men accompanied the ferrets, and very
hard work they have looking after both them
and the pigeons But then, as l told them,
the further they get from England the fewer
pigeons there will be from day to day."
And what are the ferrets sailing for7"
They arc consignment to large wool
farmer in New Zealand. The rabbit pest, as
you know, has now broken out very bad
there. The Australians, see, are going to
have a rabbit pest conference: but this New
Zealand wool merchant thought he had bet
ter send to Mr.. Cross, and Mr.. Cross is going
to send him 120 ferrets. They won't mako
much Roadway, you say, against the rabbits
But then they breed SO fast and if none of
them are lost on the voyage, in a few months
time my client ought to have six OF seven
hundred Of them at least. Don't spare the
expense, he said to me- The rabbits are eat
ing up all the pasture on which his sheep
ought to be feeding, and unless he can get
them under he will be ruined man. By the
next mail am going to send the same Gus
toner q consignment Of stoats and weasels
They are wonderfully tough customers, are
stoats; they will bleed the rabbits to death in
no time.
"Curieusly enough" added Mr.. Cross, "at
the very same time that l received these or
ders for means of destroying the rabbits in
New Zealand ! received also q large order
for rabbits, and am now hard at work get
ting together 1000 Of them as quickly as l
can. They are going to British Columbia
where they have not got any rabbits am
sending 1000 of them, 500 does and 500
bucks. This is pretty large business also
They will want q hundred sacks of oats at
least for tho voyage, besides plenty of hay,
straw and Eawdust. Pail Mall Gazette.

4 Wild West Caieftain.

Red Shirt, Cody says, is the best Indian he
ever had anything to do with. He is high
minded, honorable, and particularly tract
able and affectionate. He is always cool and
very quiet, yet he is a very rigid discipline
rian. He has killed at six different times men
of his tribe in the west who refused to obey
him. Last summer one of the Indians caused
the police great deal of annoyance by cross
ing the bridge over to the American exhibi-
tion side for the purpose of talking with
some of the bazar girls. Repeated fines
would not check him He was fined SO much
that his pay for the season was down to about
pound. Then Red Shirt was appealed to to
use his authority. Red Shirt walked up to
the disobedient Indian, and without raising
his voice at all he said in his smiling, gentlo
way: "You are bad Indian. You have
been requested by Col Cody and myself to
not cross this bridge. Now have come to
tell you one thing. If you ever cross that
bridge again without permission 1 will kill
you" With this Red Shirt stalked away.
From that day forward this bad Indian
never even went near the end of the bridge.

Carried to the Bathing Establishment In
a Sedan Chair-The Let Alone Plan.
At Aixles-Bains you may choose your own
Sime for getting up. The physicians there
rely chiefly on baths and massage-those in
Marienbad chiefly on drinking the waters
and on exercise, with the baths as supple
mentary. At AK you arrange beforehand
at what hour you will take your morning
bath, and you may make this as late as you
choose. When the hour arrives, you hear
heavy and regular footballs in the corridor,
and something is set down In front of your
door. 1t is not your coffin, though it sounds
as if it might be. The maid knocks: "The
chaise porteur is ready for madame"
You rise drowsily to your feet. Jeanne puts
on your flannel wrapper-you go into the hall
and step into the sedan chair-and two bear
ers lift it by its long poles and trot away
down stairs with you and along the street,
thronged with other such curtained chairs,
till you come to the bathing establishment
nay, till you get into the very room where
your bath waits. There, only, is the chair
set down. Then two women take off your
wrapper and seat you on a stool of repent
unce, and one douches you from one side, the
other from the other side; and both knead
and pound you, until they, at least are in
fine glow. This performance lasts for nearly
half an hour Then yor are wrapped in
blankets, arms and all, till you look and feel
like mummy-you are lifted into the sedan
chair-the concealing curtains are drawn
around you, and the two men bear you back
again to your own chamber.
This time they carry you into the room
they set down the chair beside the bed-they
lift you tenderly out and lay you on your
couch as if you were helpless infant; then

Recently wandering through the village
cemetery 1 noticed a granite slab leaning
against the white board fence and inquired
of bright eyed, rosy checked 1O-year-old
girl, who had volunteered to conduct me
safely through the cemetery, the meaning of
the tombstone leaning against the fence.
''That,H she replied, sis for lost grave"
''But what do you mean by lost graves"
''Oh, the story is that years and years ago
little boy died, and the family didn't have
the money to erect monument over the
grave. So they drove stake down and after
while moved awsy. They are wealthy now,
but when they came back with the monu-
ment and were ready to put it up at the grave
of the little boy they couldn't find the grave.
That's the story. Isu it a ssl one?"-Toledo

HOG KILLING IN CHICAGO.

The Story Told in Tho London Times.
Every Portion Utilized.
To kill and prepare 1900 to 1,5O0 beeves
and 5000 to 10000 hogs in one day requires
complete system. The steers are driven into
long pens, and an expert riheman, walking
upon platform over them, discharges rife
shot into the brain just behind the horns
The killing is instantaneous; the steer, with
out even groan, falling like log The ami
NAL is then drawn forward from the pen, the
hide quickly removed and the carcass pre-
pared, and cut up ready for storage in the
Chill rooms" and subsequent shipment
These beef killing processes are speedily per-
formed, but the science most thoroughly de-
veloped is the hog killing. These animals are
driven up an inclined roadway into pom in
the upper part of the packing house.
Men keep the procession constantly moving,
and when the hog arrives at the proper place
a chain is deftly fastened round his hind leg
The steam machinery jerks up the squealing
hog, so that he hangs head downward upon q
sliding frame; his throat is cut, the blood
spouting carcass slides ,.iong the frame, and,
in a moment being drained Of blood, it il
dropped into vat Of boiling water. This
scalds it, and being quickly lifted out it rolls
over a table into revolving machine that
scrapes it clean of bristles. Then the carcass
. is passed along sliding table, washed, again
hung up, beheaded, disembowclcd split down
the middle, and then sent upon heightened
inclined railway to be hung up to cool An
army Of men standing alongside the mnchi-
merry perform the various duties as the car
casses transport them by gravity through the
different processes, which succeed each other
with such rapidity that in few minutes the
porker is finally disposed Of This ia done by
moving the carcass to broad block, where
half dozen butchers standing around stimuli
taneously attack it, and in a twinkling it il
converted into hams, sides and shoulders, and
the various parts are SAINT off to their respec-
tive apartments.
Every portion of the hog is utilized for
meats, lard, sausages or canned goods. and
the blood and other offal are converted into
a fertilizer. Enormous sausage making ma
chimes grind and cut tho scraps and scores of
women ore busily engaged in packing and
labelling the tins. These wonderful proces,e.
attract many visitors, and the American
rustic who has been accustomed to the farm
er's Christmas frolic of the "hog killinp.n
where elaborate preparations are made for
the slaughter OF probably half dozen, looks
with amazement upon this wholesale sum-
mary disposal of the animals In Chicago
Great as this wonderful city Is in everything.
it seems that tho first place among its strong
points must bc given TO the CELEBRITY and com.
prehenslveness of tho Chicago style Of killing

Peaks of Great Altitude.

Although DR.. Meyer has succeeded in
making the ascent of Kibo, the highest peak
on the Kilima-Njaro range, there is no occa-
sion for any noted Alpine climber to sit down
and weep because there are no other noun
tains to conquer. The Alps, the Andes, Mt.
Cook in New Zealand and Kilima-Niaro are
all giants, certainly, but they are dwarfed by
some of the Thibetan mountains. Mr.. Graham
ascended one or two of these few years ago,
but he failed to reach the top of the Kinchin-
junga, which is 5000 feet higher than Kibo,
and hit. Everest, the highest peak in the
world, is still virgin soil In the Himalayan
range there are more than fifty peaks that
rise to a greater altitude than Kilima-N jaro,
which DR.. Meyer estimates close upon 20, 900
feet. The Alpine clubs should establish
branches in central Asia.-St. James Ga

4 Fat Man Who Whistles.

Wont you please stop, sir; it's making mo

with boyish countenance, turned quickly to
tho speaker, sort Of woman's rights looking
little woman, and said, in q tone of embar-
rassment: 'Stop whatgn

The fat man blushed and glanced around
the car. Every passenger was looking in Lis
direction, and tcsty man opposite muttercd
something like THANK goodness, somo one
has shut him up" As quickly as he could
pick his $50 pounds off the seat tho fat man
left the car.
The offender is politician and an Office
holder. He says the habit of whistling pop
ular airs is almost second nature with him.
No sooner does he enter a car and get COM
fortably seated than he begins to whistle in a
low tone without knowing it. He is diffident,
and frequently when he happens to look
around at his fellow passengers and catches
them either laughing or frowning he knows
that he has been whistling. He makes his
escape Immediately if he is riding on a sur
face car, or if on the elevated road he gets out
ut the next station Not long ago he paid
visit to the mayors Office. Several heads of
bureaus were already there to mako reports.
He took place on the sofa to await his turn
In. few minutes he was warbling softly.
The mayor had passed q sleepless night. Tho
officer knew 1t. He touched the fat man on
the shoulder. The fat man understood what
he had done and was grateful to the attend

where girls only chance to earn pin
money was to hire out to neighboring
farmers who had not enough daughters
for domestic needs"

A Remarkable Case Of Amnesia.

The many strange phenomena of amnesia
have been enriched by the experience of ono
Of the ablest living psychologists, Professor
Balm Some months ago Professor Balm fell
from his horse, and was unconscious for
about three hours afterwards During this
time bis shoulder, which had been sprained
by the accident, YVES set without his knowl-
edge. Upon regaining consciousness, it was
found that he had lost all remembrance Of
what had occurred IN hour before the acci-
dent, as well as of the three hours following.
He was found on a different road from that
which he can remember having intended to
take, and so must have changed his mind.
OF this he has lost nll recollection; otherwise
there were no mental effects.
The editor Of Mind, who tells the story,
adds another case in which gentleman, af-
ter falling from carriage, remained un-
conscious for nearly four months Upon re-
awakening, not only was this interval a total
blank to him, but the events Of the week pre-
ceding the accident were equally lost In
portant transactions which he had made
during that week were forgotten. This sug-
gests that there may be some relation be-
tween the duration of Inconsistencies after
the accident and the memory blank before.
At all events, tho phenomena, mysterious as
they arc, deserve to be recorded The au-
thenticity and careful analysis of the above
cases add to their value.-Science

Tho n1Hsterious New Gun.

Mrs. Crawford writes: 81 may mention
that some days ago 1 was shown the bullet of
the new Lebel gun. There can be no harm
in describing its appearance, since in the
event of war these missiles would be the
first thing to fall, or rather to fly, into the
enemy's hands Besides, the Germans are
known to have stolen a few at Belfort. In
shape it is conical, but the tip is slightly fat
tened. 1t is trifle under one-third of an
inch in diameter and somewhat over one
inch in length. Tho bullet is made of
a shell Of German silver, about one-twen-
tieth Of an inch in thickness, filed in with an
